A NEW SEASON
A NEW SEASON
The Lord keeps reminding me that I/we are in a new season in His Kingdom.
I have been trying to go through my clothes and donate those that do not need to go with me in this new spiritual season of ministry and life.
A few days ago I felt a strong call to get my desk and file cabinets in order (I have one 4 drawer and one 2 drawer). Oh, the precious nuggets I am finding – lost and hidden in all of the miscellaneous “stuff.”
How many precious things of the Lord are lost and hidden among all of the things we felt needed to be held onto?
I feel that the Lord is calling me to sift through a lot of things of the past because I need to make room for all of the things He is bringing into my life NOW!! PRAISE GOD!!
I find myself becoming excited as I organize past sermons, devotions, teachings, prophetic words, prayers, and ministry events that the Lord used me to minister in for His glory and for the equipping of His Church! I am excited because as I am doing this I KNOW that I am making room for what is coming!!
Brothers & Sisters! Do you have room in your life for the NEW that the Lord wants to bring you? Is it time for you to do an inventory – physical and spiritual – and CLEAN OUT those things that will hold you back from receiving God’s abundance?
LORD!! Help us to weed out all of those things that clutter up our lives to the point that we can’t move quickly and freely with You into our future. Help us to prune our lives of “dead things” that do not promote NEW LIFE! Help us to speak LIFE to others and also to ourselves!
LORD!! You are the most precious thing in our lives!! May we not let anything take YOUR place!! May every decision we make come from embracing YOUR heart, YOUR perspective, YOUR love, and YOUR will!!
LORD!! We are ready to go forward with You!
Leaving old things behind…
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
VISION
…for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.
(1 Samuel 16:7)
We must be careful to not take people and circumstances at “face value”. What we see with our fleshly eyes is not necessarily what the LORD sees!
LORD, may we have Your eyes and Your Vision that we may see things as they really are.
May You continue to improve my Vision, Lord!! May You align my vision to YOUR Vision. I not only want to HEAR You, but I want to SEE with Your eyes! I want to FEEL what You feel! I want to SPEAK Your Word! Mold and shape me, Lord, into a vessel that is filled to overflowing with Your LOVE!! In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. AMEN!
